00:06The End
00:22Miss Bennet
00:26You are
00:27quite unlike anyone
00:30I have ever met
00:31You speak your mind with
00:33a refreshing directness
00:35and you do not force yourself
00:38to conform to society's ideals
00:39I imagine it will come as
00:41no surprise when I say I
00:45have developed the greatest affection for you
00:48I cannot understand why a man
00:56such as Mr Ryder would propose to Mary
00:58Oh shush, perhaps he won't
01:00Mother may have got her hopes up for nothing
01:02We shall never know his intentions
01:03if you two keep talking
01:06What is happening?
01:07Mr Ryder and Mary are in the library
01:08and appear to be having a serious conversation
01:12I suppose most women of better looks
01:14and livelier character were already taken
01:16It cannot be a match driven by passion
01:18Not all matches driven by passion
01:20turn out well
01:21Lizzie, I cannot hear what they are saying
01:23Will you all just be quiet?
01:27In these past
01:29few days
01:30I
01:32have felt a deeper understanding
01:35between us
01:36I believe you felt it too
01:39I
01:40I took to heart
01:42the things that you said
01:43And you must
01:46For I believe we should be very happy together
01:49Miss Bennet
01:50I
01:51I
01:51I have a mind to go abroad
01:52to Italy
01:54somewhere with
01:55with
01:56a lake in front of me
01:57and
01:58a mountain behind
01:59Lakes are
01:59usually found in mountainous areas
02:01I am
02:02no, although some are found in dormant volcanic craters
02:06I cannot imagine going to Italy without you
02:09Miss Bennet
02:11and
02:12therefore
02:12therefore
02:13I wondered
02:15whether you might do me
02:17the greatest honour
02:19of coming with me
02:22Well
02:23I
02:24We could read poetry all day
02:27and drink wine all evening
02:29Oh
02:29I do
02:31I like poetry
02:31and I like wine
02:33What we have loved
02:34others will love
02:35and we will teach them how
02:37and
02:37let us
02:38teach each other
02:40I
02:40I don't speak any Italian
02:42but I
02:42I suppose I could
02:43I could learn
02:44That's the spirit Miss Bennet
02:46This is why
02:47we are such a strong match
02:48You have the courage of my convictions
02:53How so?
02:55You understand the appeal of living boldly
02:58living with freedom
03:00unburdened by the shackles of marriage
03:03Sorry, just to be very clear
03:06Um
03:07So you're suggesting that
03:08um
03:08I live with you
03:10in
03:11Italy
03:12but
03:13um
03:14that we remain
03:16unmarried
03:17Yes
03:18Exactly
03:18Together
03:21but free
03:24For what woman wants to be
03:26owned in such a way?
03:28Oh
03:30What do you say?
03:34I don't know what to say
03:37Of course, of course
03:38You must sleep on it
03:41But if you accept
03:42we could leave for London tomorrow
03:43and
03:44plan our trip to Italy
03:47Oh
04:07Well, Mary?
04:09Come, Mary dear
04:11Who would have thought you'd make such an excellent match?
04:15No, I
04:15I
04:16He didn't propose
04:17Mama
04:18What do you mean he did not propose?
04:21I mean that
04:23he called me in there to talk about
04:26a sermon
04:28on
04:30good works
04:32Mary, this is no time for one of your poor attempts at humour
04:35Mama
04:36Mr Ryder
04:37showered you with attention
04:39only to pull you aside to discuss a sermon
04:44Well
04:45we shall see about that
04:47I am sure Mr Ryder will make his intentions clear in his own time
04:52Yes
04:53Yes, he will
04:55Mary?
04:57I shall choose your dress for supper
05:00perhaps something of Liz's
05:02Hmm
05:04Oh
05:07Waste
05:09Interestingly
05:10Charlotte
05:11What?
05:12Oh
05:12Mr Collins
05:14It looks as though you were all waiting for us
05:16We were not
05:17Mrs Bennet
05:18I am pleased to see you looking so well
05:20I see you didn't rush to pay your respects
05:23Do not wish to impose?
05:26How are you?
05:27Um
05:28All
05:28I long to know everything
05:30Well, there is something of a situation involving Mary
05:34Thank you, Lydia
05:35We were just getting ready for supper
05:36Come
05:38Ha
05:40Yes
05:44Ooh, sit up straight dear
05:47Mary is looking very well tonight
05:50Mr Ryder, do you not agree?
05:52I do indeed
05:54My daughters are a handsome set
05:57They most certainly are
05:58More wine, Mama.
06:00This is the wine you requested.
06:02And only one unmarried.
06:04Did you hear Charlotte's news of Longbourn, Mama?
06:07In the drawing room, we have opened up an orange room.
06:09How did you enjoy your ride this afternoon, Mr. Ryder?
06:12Mmm.
06:13It was very pleasant.
06:15Excellent company.
06:16Mother, Mr. Darcy and I are thinking of holding a dinner in honour of your recovery.
06:22Mmm.
06:23Very good idea, Lizzie.
06:25Was it your horse, Miss Bennet, that picked these blackberries where it seemed?
06:30Is that what she was doing this afternoon?
06:32Well, if it is, I feel quite terrible now for having dragged her away.
06:35So you should. Rather delicious.
06:37Have you always lived in London, Mr. Ryder?
06:40I have.
06:42Although, my plan is to move to Italy.
06:44Quite soon.
06:45Italy? How long for?
06:48To settle for the rest of my days.
06:50Or for as long as my fancy takes me.
06:53Well, wherever you choose, you will need a knowledgeable companion by your side.
06:59As you know, Mary reads a great deal.
07:03She has a very well-informed mind, though do not let that put you off.
07:07Miss Bennet is an extraordinary young woman.
07:10Young?
07:11Why Italy?
07:12For its history, its beauty, to wake up each morning to a view of a mountain.
07:18Ah, in reality, mountainous regions play havoc with one's rheumatism.
07:23Well, I think that sounds quite perfect.
07:25It really does.
07:28You find Longbourn tedious with its drafts.
07:30I hardly think you would cope in mountains.
07:34I will never know, will I?
07:38I did not know you spoke Italian, Mr. Ryder.
07:42Poco.
07:43Bless you.
07:46I am quite looking forward to the peace and stillness of a foreign lad.
07:51Yes.
07:53Yes, it would be most welcome.
08:06Mary.
08:11I remember very well being the subject of Mother's plotting.
08:16It is quite a lot to bear.
08:18Isn't it?
08:21Engagements can take time.
08:24It is no small decision, and important not to rush.
08:28If Mr. Ryder does not propose, you must not think it is a reflection on you.
08:33Mr. Ryder has already proposed.
08:38Mary!
08:40That is excellent news, isn't it?
08:48It was a kind of proposal.
08:52Oh?
08:54Mr. Ryder proposed that I live with him in Italy, reading poetry and drinking wine.
09:03That sounds quite perfect.
09:05It does, doesn't it?
09:06It does.
09:07I think I'd very much like to travel.
09:09I would certainly rise to the challenge of a new language.
09:13I have to give him my decision tomorrow morning.
09:16Well, what did you mean by a kind of proposal?
09:21Mr. Ryder believes that we should go to Italy.
09:28But remain unmarried.
09:32He proposed that you should be his mistress.
09:34Not in those words.
09:35I have never heard such a suggestion in my life.
09:37Oh, well, sadly, Lizzie, I think most of us will never find ourselves in a romantic situation as perfect as
09:41yours.
09:42But he insults you.
09:43He does not.
09:43No.
09:44Mr. Ryder believes that women shouldn't be owned in such a way as marriage.
09:48So he prefers a modern arrangement.
09:50I'm sure he does.
09:51One that is far more convenient for him.
09:53If he tires of this arrangement, he can easily move on whilst your reputation is ruined forever.
10:00Do you think he will tire of me?
10:01Of course not, Mary.
10:02I...
10:04Marriage is the only thing a woman has to protect herself against such difficulties.
10:08Tell me you are not seriously considering his offer.
10:14I mean, I've begun to think I'm not...
10:16I'm not much suited to conventional life.
10:22I've always been the odd one out.
10:25I...
10:26Oh, I know.
10:27I know the scandal would be huge.
10:29I know Mother would be mortified.
10:31But Mr. Ryder, he treats me well.
10:34He makes me laugh.
10:36He is...
10:36He is interested in me.
10:42And I could escape.
10:56Mr. Ryder is clearly fond of you.
11:01And it is admirable that he has his own way of seeing the world.
11:10But you deserve better than this offer.
11:16Lizzie.
11:18You have grown up with no shortage of suitors.
11:21And you're at home, too.
11:23You have...
11:24You've always been...
11:25Mary, we've had largely the same upbringing.
11:26No, no.
11:27We may have grown up in the same house with the same mother and father and the same sisters.
11:31But your experience of life has been wholly different to my own.
11:36You were celebrated.
11:38And you were...
11:39You were respected.
11:41I was not.
11:43I mean, for the rest of you, even in your worst moments growing up, you could look to me and
11:47think,
11:49at least I'm not Mary.
11:51That's not true.
11:52It's absolutely true.
11:54But I always admired your strength, that you never cared what Mother or any of us thought.
11:59Of course I cared.
12:01Well, you always did things your own way.
12:03That was the only way I knew.
12:11Mary, all I want is to protect you.
12:15Or protect yourself from whatever shame I might bring on the family.
12:23How could you think such a thing?
12:39Do you love Mr. Ryder?
12:57Do you love Mr. Ryder?
13:12Right.
13:15Yes, sir.
13:20There you are, sir.
13:24Yes.
13:27Yes.
13:28Ah!
13:29Good morning, Miss Bennet.
13:31Good morning.
13:32And it is a perfect morning for travelling.
13:41I have enjoyed these last few days with you enormously.
13:46You have been a beam of light in the darkness.
13:50And I do not know what I would have done without your company.
13:54I have felt the same way.
14:04But I cannot accept your interesting proposal.
14:13I thought that you and I were aligned.
14:17I appreciate how important your ideas are to you.
14:20I know how strongly you feel about freedom in love.
14:30But, well, I am still very much bound by the expectations of society.
14:38And the expectations I have.
14:41For myself.
14:47Of course.
14:49I see.
14:52Goodbye, Mr. Ryder.
14:58My best wishes to your family.
15:19Right on.
15:32Good morning, Mary.
15:35Mother.
15:36I trust you slept well last night?
15:39I did.
15:40Yes, thank you.
15:41You must keep up your strength.
15:44Who knows what today may bring?
15:47Ah, here he is.
15:50Oh, what are you doing here?
15:53Oh, I was...
15:54Do join us, cousin.
15:57Where on earth is Mr. Ryder?
15:59Ah, er, Mr. Ryder has left.
16:01Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Collins.
16:03He has no plans to leave.
16:05I saw him.
16:06I saw him climb into his carriage and go.
16:11Mary?
16:12Yes, Mr. Ryder has left.
16:14He's left.
16:15Bemberley.
16:15Did he make you an offer of marriage?
16:20I will not be marrying Mr. Ryder.
16:26I will not be marrying anyone.
16:28What did you do?
16:30I'm sure Mary didn't do anything.
16:32Why is everything with you so relentlessly disappointing?
16:38A beautiful morning.
16:40No.
16:53Mother, I am sorry if I have disappointed you.
16:58I sometimes think you delight in vexing me.
17:02I do not.
17:05It is not too late.
17:09Too late for what, Mother?
17:11To write to Mr. Ryder and beg his forgiveness.
17:15His forgiveness?
17:17For whatever it is you did that drove him away.
17:23Do you really believe a man of such means will come along again for you?
17:29But I...
17:30Do you think the gardeners will have you back when they hear what you have done to Mr. Ryder?
17:35Mother...
17:36If you will not write to him and ask him to return, then I shall write to my brother and
17:41tell him you are obliged to stay here with me.
17:46If you are incapable of taking advantage of the opportunities London Society offers you in finding you a match, then
17:55you shall remain here with me instead.
17:57Do you think...
18:21God.
18:25I will not be afraid.
18:27I will not be afraid.
18:27Good luck. Thank you, honey.
18:29Good luck with mother.
18:30Bye to you.
18:56You make it worse.
19:07Mary, don't do that.
19:11Sorry, mother.
19:14You endlessly try my patience.
19:22Enough.
19:22No, no, please.
19:38Do not leave on my account, Miss Bennet.
19:43Sorry, I cannot provide good company today.
19:49I've noticed you've been most subdued of late.
19:52If I can be of any help, do you say we men of the cloth can offer the most useful
19:56counsel?
19:59Thank you, Mr. Collins.
20:01I am, um...
20:03I'm often alone myself.
20:05Mrs. Collins has so many duties and preoccupations that she has very little time left to spend with me.
20:11Oh.
20:12It seems I have the habit of frustrating her, as I tend to do everyone.
20:20No, not at all, Mr. Collins.
20:25My father often commented that I was worthless.
20:29I thought a great deal about turning myself into something different, someone easy and obliging, but somehow I can't.
20:42I've always struck the wrong note with people, even in childhood.
20:50I felt the same way many times.
20:54I think you have much to offer, Mr. Collins.
21:01Uh, excuse me, I realise I'm now burdening you with my troubles.
21:05No, not at all.
21:08What are you reading?
21:10Hmm?
21:11Oh, um...
21:13Aristotle.
21:15I'm looking into the question of happiness.
21:23Happiness?
21:24Hmm.
21:26What it is.
21:28How one might find it.
21:33Do you, um...
21:34Do you have an answer?
21:39I'm not quite sure.
21:41I, uh, I've found some points of interest.
21:45Please, would you tell me what you know, Mr. Collins?
21:49Oh, um, what I've discovered seems to suggest that it is only through self-knowledge that genuine happiness is experienced.
21:59Through self-knowledge?
22:00Hmm.
22:00I, I think it is only when we have examined and understood our strengths and weaknesses and been honest enough
22:08about what we truly desire from life, only then do you have any chance at all of attaining happiness.
22:17So, what Aristotle is saying is that our happiness is in our own hands?
22:28Yes.
22:30Yes.
22:30I think so, yes.
22:33Interesting thought, isn't it?
22:36It's most interesting.
22:44It must be Mr. Ryder coming back to try again.
23:01Uncle.
23:02Mary!
23:05Jane.
23:17You reminded us of the importance of protecting our health, and so Edward and I have decided to spend some
23:24much-needed time in the lakes.
23:26Hmm.
23:27Wonderful.
23:27Quite wonderful.
23:28All that wind would play havoc with my nerves.
23:31And we were wondering whether Mary might join us.
23:35Mary?
23:35Yes, we thought perhaps Mary could join us in the lakes and then return with us to London.
23:41Elizabeth wrote to us, explaining that Mary was without much to occupy her here.
23:45She has a very good occupation.
23:47She is my companion.
23:49I think it's a very sensible idea for Mary to get some fresh air.
23:52Oh, do you now?
23:53What do you think, Mary?
23:55Mary will not leave me.
23:57Mary, she knows I do not have many years left, and she wants to spend this precious time at my
24:02side.
24:03Isn't that right, Mary?
24:06Mother, Mr. Darcy and I have arranged a new companion for you.
24:12She's called Susan.
24:14Susan?
24:15Am I to be looked after by a Susan?
24:19We very much enjoy Mary's company.
24:22As do I.
24:23And knowing her passion for Wordsworth...
24:25She is forbidden to leave.
24:32Aunt.
24:33Uncle.
24:35Thank you for your invitation.
24:42I would be delighted to join you.
24:44What do you mean?
24:45I think, dear sister, she means she will be joining us in the Lake Districts.
24:50What a good idea.
24:52A good decision, Mary.
24:53Well done.
24:54A most excellent decision.
24:56Always good to challenge oneself.
24:57Oh, do be quiet, Mr. Collins.
25:00Well done, Mary.
25:02Well done.
25:03You should probably go and pack.
25:05I will help.
25:08I will help.
25:19I envy you.
25:23You envy me?
25:24The lakes.
25:26London.
25:27I never did experience much of life.
25:30It is a bold and brave decision, Mary.
25:33And for what it's worth, I think it's the right one.
25:41Forgive me, Charlotte.
25:44I don't want to speak out of turn.
25:46I mean, I often have.
25:50Only you seem...
25:54quite unhappy.
26:03When my mother told me the only choice for a woman was marriage or misery,
26:09she negated to tell me it was possible to be both married and miserable.
26:18Yes, well, my father let us in on that particular secret some years ago.
26:22Yes.
26:23But I do believe that if you look a little under the surface,
26:29you will find more to Mr. Collins than you imagine.
26:38Goodbye, Mother.
26:41I will write.
26:44As you wish.
26:48Susan!
26:51Susan!
27:02Mary, I am so sorry if you have ever felt that I was ashamed of you.
27:07For I am not.
27:09I am very proud of you.
27:19I am scared, Lizzie.
27:23What if I made all the wrong decisions?
27:32Mary, you will flourish.
27:49I had made my escape and would not look back.
27:53I did not know what was next,
27:56but I knew that I could not return to live with my family ever again.
28:00Hey, Miss Bennet!
28:02Miss Bennet!
28:03Here.
28:05I have something for you.
28:11Thank you, Mr. Collins.
28:30Could it be that I decide my future?
28:34I felt sure that the lakes would offer me a chance for peace and reflection.
28:38Oh, Mary, I ought to have told you, Tom Haywood will be joining us in the lakes.
28:44I should have known that my life was never that simple.
28:48Your love is never that old.
28:51My love is never that?
